It was on Channel 5 which was new at the time!

Actually didn't we play Juve in pre-season when Hamann scored a very good goal from outside the area? Could have been then, may have been under Dalglish if that's the case

Yes I think I got confused with Baggio and Del Piero I thought it was Keegan we were linked with all the top players, even George Weah at his peak, Zidane, Baggio etc Bobby Robson was still very high calibre but just below top top tier, the likes of Rui Costa etc

I feel like Eddie wants 3 good options for each position with clear hierarchy, first team, young gem, experienced backup Pope, Trafford, Gillespie Trippier, Livramento, Krafth Schar, new RCB, Lascelles Botman, Kelly, Burn Kelly, Hall, Targett Bruno, Miley, Joelinton, Willock Tonali, Longstaff New RW, Minteh, Murphy Gordon, Barnes, Anderson Isak, new young backup, Wilson Not included Almiron or Dubravka as think they’re out. Not a bad make up of squad, if the vacancies are filled with some stardust

How about getting him AND Mama - £50m dropped, sure, but sorts out the GK position for 10 years Trafford can go out on loan, Mama and Pope to stay Same was done with RB (Trippier, Livramento, possibly Ashby) LB - Targett, Hall (Kelly, Burn as back up)

I'd take Sancho on a free two-year loan, in exchange for Dan Ashworth and no compensation, he can start immediately.

Would defo take Ihenacho on a free as our Wood replacement, especially now that we lost Tosin. If Wilson stays, Isak, Wilson, Ihenacho is a decent back up Frees up Gordon for the wings where he is way better Would expect a top top class RW if we went cheap on the CF, and a high potential CB in addition to Kelly.

Finally got to wear the black and white after he was linked to NUFC during the Keegan era

Becomes world class on FM

On the to sell list before Minteh: Almiron Dubravka Longstaff Murphy Wilson Lascelles Krafth Ashby Kuol Trippier

Is it not better to get Woodman at that price? Home grown, more experienced, probably cheaper and also was talked of as a future England GK, also was part of that U17 winning team for England

The good thing he also did this reset for his beloved Liverpool 10 years earlier which set them back a decade also

That looks like ChatGPT wrote something to the prompt: “write something about Newcastle Uniteds kits as though written by a local”

Can see why we wanted Freedman, Eze and Wharton (and Olise) are very impressive finds

I remember around 2006, just before the footy world cup in Germany, there was a great Northern Rock ad (I think) that showed Jonny Wilkinson (of Newcastle Falcons), Harmison (of Durham CCC) and Michael Owen (then of NUFC) - Jonny was holding the Rugby World cup as England were the recent holders, Harmison was holding the ashes due to Englands 2005 win, and then they were looking over at Owen saying it's over to you...

Yusuf Fofana apparently available for 20m. Honest, sell Longstaff, Miley on loan and bring him in, would be a monster midfield we have.

This could get us Scalvini or Diomande or Todibo or one of those other big names I also hear Kounde is available

I had preferred this over Kelly due to needing a RCB and his height and the fact he came from Man City but let’s hope it’s like when we missed out on Joao Pedro and got Isak

Forest’s is one of the best, was done by a competition winner no less Timeless (done in the 70s) and it’s retained that minimalism that is all the rage these days

Well next year is the 1995/96 equivalent, so Fox is already on the way out (perhaps our Almiron or Murphy) and in comes our Ginola type (I see Gordon as Gillespie)

After waiting so long to upgrade the RW, I would be underwhelmed with Mbeumo That's an area that has been neglected for years, and will transform the team in terms of output, means both sides are as dangerous, not just LW with Gordon, will open up space etc. Olise, Chiesa, Williams, that's the level Mbeumo is Barnes level, which raises the floor but we need a ceiling raiser especially as the other attacking signing is going to be a floor raiser (back up to Isak) not an elite one.

Also shows Benitez had a great eye

Isn't Trafford a regen of Woodman? Woodman was equally if not more highly rated and yet struggled when given the opportunity due to inexperience, same as Trafford Probably better getting Woodman back, at least he's home grown and more experienced now

Didn't Saka start out for Arsenal at left back? Could be worth a try to accommodate the others?

Trust me guys, we are title challengers next year.
